Twinkle Twinkle Little Flame

Manea was more than happy to wait patiently while Fia studied the sky and looked for constellations. Occasionally she would glance down at her daughter just to see the inquisitive, focused look in her bright, obsidian eyes. Her children always astounded her and took her breath away, especially when she happened to find moments when they were in their element and showing the natural talents that they were developing. Fia had already begun to show the intelligence beyond her young age just as Avacyn had and Manea was happy to foster that in her and give her little moments of learning throughout their time together. She had to look back up at the stars and break her thoughts away from the pride she had in her children when Fia pointed out the Little Dipper just beyond the larger version that she had pointed out before. She grinned and nodded in approval, looking back to Fia and giving her cheek an affectionate nuzzle. "There is! Good spotting, my little flame."

She chuckled softly as she left a soft kiss on Fia's cheek where the flame-like marking surrounded one of her dark eyes. "They're just like you and your father. A big flame and a little flame. Both just as dazzling." She shifted a bit to be able to wrap her forelegs around Fia, pulling her into her chest with a warm hug, nuzzling the top of her head as she took full advantage of this mother daughter time they got to have. Becoming an alpha had really taught her to savor these little moments when she had them and in a way had made her time with her children feel all the more precious. "Do you want to go back to bed? Or do you want to stay out here a while longer?" She would never want to rush these moments, but she did also know that Fia was still a growing girl who very much needed her sleep.
